When closing on a home, you should receive a copy of your house deed when the title is transferred to you. You can also request an additional copy at any time through your County Recorder's office or Register of Deeds office (the official name may vary by location).
A: Anywhere between 14 to 90 days after closing. A properly recorded deed can take anywhere from 14 days to 90 days. That may seem like a long time, but your local government office goes over every little detail on the deed to make sure the property is correct and there are no errors.
The deed is the most important document because it transfers the property to the purchaser.
Arizona follows a notice recording statute, which means that, while unrecorded transfers are valid between the parties to the deed (grantor and grantee), the grantor who, in violation of A.R.S. §33-411.01, fails to record the transaction, opens the grantee up to claims from future bona fide buyers for value.

The quitclaim deed must identify both the grantor and the grantee or the person or entity receiving the interest in the real estate by name. Finally, one of the parties must record the quitclaim deed at the local county recorder's office so that it becomes an official document.
Each document must have original signatures or carbon copies of original signatures, except when otherwise provided by law. DOCUMENT AND PRINT SIZE: Each document must be no larger than 8 1/2 inches wide by 14 inches long, and shall have a print size no smaller than ten point type.
After executing the quitclaim deed, you should record the document in the county where the property is located. Each county has its recording office where you must place all documents to be recorded.
